Supported MIBs An SNMP packet carries management variables with it. Management variable is
used to describe the management objects of a switch. To uniquely identify the
management objects of the switch, SNMP adopts a hierarchical naming scheme to
organize the managed objects. It is like a tree, with each tree node representing a
managed object, as shown in
Figure 106. Each node in this tree can be uniquely
identified by a path starting from the root.
Figure 106 Architecture of the MIB tree
The management information base (MIB) describes the hierarchical architecture of
the tree and it is the set defined by the standard variables of the monitored
network devices. In the above figure, the managed object B can be uniquely
identified by a string of numbers {1.2.1.1}. The number string is the object
identifier (OID) of the managed object.
The common MIBs supported by switches are listed in Table 272.
